Where I get my bitch on.

Some people get their freak on, today, I get my bitch on.


1. Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal. I've tried, repeatedly. It bored me to tears. That's not my beef though, because I have my most beloved Battlestar Galactica. What is killing me is that everyone, and I do mean pretty much every fucking person I know, is loving this show with an unholy passion, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read! [livejournal.com profile] lyra_sena wrote fucking guitar porn! [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock has some crazy series about strippers (that is what that's about, yeah? I'm only going off the title). [livejournal.com profile] seperis is writing, like, assassin-fic or something. And here I am with nothing! That sucks. But you'll never get me to that show, so.

2. Speaking of shows I don't fancy, Firefly is another one. This isn't me telling people that they can't be all happy about Serenity, since apparently if SGA isn't your show, this one is. I mean everyone has their space show, and even [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon likes this one (or maybe that's just Nathan Fillion's bum), but just, no. I do think Gina Torres rocks, but that's probably because she's married to Laurence Fishburne.

3. And while we're on the topic of things that are boring me to tears – this season of Lost sucks "hairy dog bollocks" as I told [livejournal.com profile] estrella30. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this one is mine. Last season was fast paced, every moment resulting in fifty different consequences. 44 days were covered in 22 episodes. This season we are four episodes in and still on the same fucking day. Nothing is fucking happening on this show, people; it's boring as hell. They have 44 potential people to use, why they hell aren't they addressing them? Stop spreading your legs for everyone, JJ, and focus on the people at home. Bringing in new characters is not the way to solve your issues. He pulled this same shit on Alias, and it's so not necessary.

Uh, yeah, that's pretty much it for me today. Thanks to everyone for answering my iPod questions. I'm off to search for something of interest to read that's not SGA.


ETA: I should point out that there are shows that I do love: Kichen Confidential, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Made and What Not to Wear. Also, obviously Entourage and Battlestar Galactica, but they're on hiatus right now.

*pats you muchly* I absolutely understand where you're coming from on number one--the part where everyone's writing it and you feel on the outside looking in. I was so, so ticked off with SGA for a better part of the late spring/early summer (and wrote about it in my SV longevity post), and...well, I'm glad I was able to get over my issues with things because otherwise, I'd be feeling pretty damn isolated right about now. So--many hugs, at least, because the feeling was not a happy one at all for me.

Can I ask what episodes you watched? I'm curious. :)

And man, something needs to get shaken up on Lost *badly* or they're just going to go in circles here. *sighs*

I wouldn't know which SGA episodes I watched, since it all seemed one big mesh for me. There was one with a female Wraith that was in disguise though, but I think in my heart, it's just not my type of thing. I want to laugh or scream and throw things. I want to feel compelled, or intrigued, or in love with the characters and SGA just couldn't hold my attention. I kept thinking, so, how long until BSG? As for Lost -- [insert eye rolling here] So very very boring right now. Where's Hurleyland? Where are the other survivors? Why aren't people challenging the status quo instead of being docile.... oh god, it's a commentary on the USA right now, isn't it?
